Safi Organics Transforming Lives Through Sustainable Agriculture

Safi Organics, based in Mwea, Kenya, transforms farm waste into high-quality, biochar-based fertilizers branded as Safi Sarvi®. Built on MIT D-Lab technology and 10+ years of R&D, Safi blends rice husk biochar with nutrients to deliver both crop-boosting NPK and unique soil-regenerating benefits. Farmers gain up to 30% yield increases and 50% higher incomes while soils are restored and residues no longer burned. With a new 20-ton/day factory, strong IP, 15000+ farmer customers base, and carbon revenues certified under Puro.earth, Safi is poised to scale across Kenya and East Africa. The company sits at the nexus of food security and climate action—competing in Africa’s $15B fertilizer market while monetizing durable carbon removals. Safi’s model proves that smallholder-centric, science-driven innovation can deliver profitability, climate impact, and livelihoods at scale.
